Check in #1

[lilly_c]

A wee bit later than intended because I was travelling and actually forgot... oops!
The tiny bit at the bottom with excused is for anyone who knows ahead of time that they may not be around when the check in posts go up and a quick email or PM to let me know is absolutely fine. Life happens.


Pull up a chair, grab a drink and snack :)


1. Have you started your fic yet?
2. Have you got lots of ideas or just one or two?
3. Do you have other commitments first?


Excused:

1. Nope. I'm hoping to have an outline by next weekend, the way my days off fall this week technically give me some time to canon review and put some bullet points together.

2. I'm between a fill in the gaps from Singularity or a post-canon mission gone wrong. The mission gone wrong was alluded to in a fic I wrote earlier this year, I'm not too sure I could make minimum word count with it.

3. Yep. I've got unconventionalcourtship and ssrconfidential, possibly summer mini challenge (if it runs this year), as well as a few not for challenges things.

1. Yup. I got a little distracted, but I've just managed to start up again. Currently almost halfway through a very rough first draft at c. 13.5K

2. Just one - a season 1 The Storm/The Eye AU where both Kolya and Sheppard end up dead, leaving a still (at this point) idealistic Sora in charge of Atlantis, mostly by default. Genii politics war with the looming threat of the Wraith as the biggest threat. (Also what to do with Teyla. But that can wait until she's recovered from her injury.)

3. Nothing that I've signed up for.

That's an impressive word count for a rough draft.

They were good eps, I still need to finish SGA at some point.

Thanks! I figure that this story is not going to be a lot of people's jam, given it's chock full of OCs and it's somewhat experimental in that it's a lot more episodic in nature than is my general style, but... Well, this is the story I was inspired to write, so...

1. Yes. I got some of my thoughts out during Camp NaNoWriMo plus hand written prep before that in terms of story but I really need to put together a serious outline so I don't get completely lost in the weeds. Also decide on structure.

2. My story is a riff on an old piece I wrote for Apocalypse Kree called "40 Days". Atlantis locks down after receiving word that Earth is under attack. They find out later that the attackers were the Aschen and the Lucien Alliance and that the planet is effectively lost to them. I'm going back in to flesh out those ideas and adding it what happens next. Since I set it within the context of the episode "Ripple Effect", Janet is alive (she came through to the prime universe with an SG-1 team during the incident). Disclosure Day happens because of the Prior Plague and Atlantis is a step away from being a fully independent colony state. Everything gets messy because of the influx of survivors, including some non-SGC civilians. SO, there's an idea, now I just have to make it all work.

3. I'm committed to soul2soul which posts at the end of this month, another challenge in a non-DW community that's due near the end of June. There's a writing intensive I hope to take in June that's none fic related. And there might be some quick fic that happens in July when Leverage: Redemption premieres. But this overall is my main jam.

1. Nope! ;-(

2. A couple of ideas rolling around but nothing's solidified at this point.

3. I have a couple major commitments before this fest, so it's on the back burner for the moment.

[zabbers]

1. It depends on which idea I go with.
2. In between! Maybe three or four.
3. I do, including a RL thing around the first couple of weeks of June, so for me this is also a back burner/mulling it over/letting the bunnies percolate thing for me.

[melagan]

I haven't started yet. Ideas are rolling around in my head but nothing has stuck yet, probably because I have another commitment I have to finish first.

[marzipan77]

Yes. First two chapters done and the rest is roughly outlined so subject to change as the team flies off in different directions as usual.

The idea is steady, rewriting The Ark of Truth to include Jack and bring some classic SG-1 to that story.

I'm currently finishing the deep edit of Book 2 of my Heir of Time Series (original fiction) I've got to get that to my Betas before I really sink my teeth into the Stargate story.

I have about 1700 words written so far? I’ve got an idea of where I’m going with it but there’s a few different ways it could pan out! No other commitments writing wise, I’m not letting myself sign up for anything else until it’s done!

[mific]

1. I've been working on a detailed outline, as the first step.

2. Just one - an obscure sci-fi B-movie fusion with SGA characters (McShep).

3. Oh hell yes, the McShep Big Bang (primary and secondary works), and intoabar, and the due South Big Bang, and art challenges, and and... yeah. So what else is new!

[havocthecat]

Working on it! I don't have other fanfic commitments, but life? Life is a whole other story.
